According to FIGS. 1A to 1E, the attachable pocket 100 comprises acontainer 101, an electromagnetic fields (EMF) protection member 105,and an attachable member 107.

The container 101 comprises a front wall 102 and a back wall 103,providing an interior volume defined by the front wall 102 and the backwall 103. The container 101 has an opening OPN. In FIGS. 1A to 1E, theopening direction DOPN is directed toward a first direction(X-direction.) The back wall 103 may comprise the inner side 103A andthe outer side 103B. The container 101 may be made of non-stretchablematerial. For example, the container 101 is made of leather and the likebut is not limited to. Referring to FIG. 1D, a horizontal width W1(Z-direction) of the container 101 and a vertical width W2 (X-direction)of the container 101 are fixed. Accordingly, the container 101 providesa fixed interior volume regardless of how much the stretchable pantswhich the container 101 clings to are stretched.

The electromagnetic fields (EMF) protection member 105 is attached tothe back wall 103. The EMF protection member 105 may be disposed betweenthe inner side 103A and the outer side 103B but is not limited to. TheEMF protection member 105 may be attached on the inner side 103A or theouter side 103B. The EMF protection member 105 can shield a wearer fromharmful effects radiated from the cell phone or the electronic devicesstored in the container 101.

In one embodiment of the presentinvention, the EMF protection member 105 may be fabric havingcomposition: from 20 to 25% copper, from 25 to 30% nickel, and from 45to 55% polyester. The EMF protection member 105 having the compositionabove can shield about 99% of EMF radiated from the cell phone or theelectric devices. The EMF protection member 105 may cover whole side ofthe back wall 103. In FIG. 1B, the EMF protection member 105 isdescribed to uncover edge of the back wall 103; however, the EMFprotection member 105 may cover whole side of the back wall 103 like EMFprotection 505 and 605 described in FIGS. 11 and 12.

The attachable member 107 can attach the container 101 to various typesof pants such as stretchable pants or form-fitting pants. A wearer candetach the attachable pocket 100 from the pants if necessary. Theattachable member 107 includes hooks which can be engaged with loops offabric of the pants. The attachable member 107 is described in moredetail referring to FIGS. 2 to 7B.

In the present invention, words “attachable” and “detachable” can beinterchangeable; therefore, an element indicated by “an attachablepocket” can be also indicated by “a detachable pocket.” Likewise, anelement indicated by “an attachable member” can be also indicated by “adetachable member.”

Referring to FIG. 1E, inside container 101, additional compartment maybe formed, defined by an additional wall 111.

The attachable pocket 100 may comprise a strap 109 to cross the openingOPN. The strap 109 can fasten items, such as a cell phone or anelectronic device, to be inside the container 101. The strap 109 and thefront wall 102 include fastening means to engage with each other, suchas a hook-and-loop. Referring to FIG. 1D, the front wall 102 has a loopportion 113A and one end of the strap 109 has a hook portion 113B.

FIG. 2 shows a back view of the attachable pocket 100 of FIG. 1A. FIG. 3shows a close-up view of a portion M1 of an attachable member 107 ofFIG. 2. FIG. 4A shows a side view of the attachable member 107 from lineA-A shown in the FIG. 3. FIG. 4B shows a hook 107B and its directionD107B of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 shows a side view of a stretchable pants SP1 andthe attachable pocket 100 attached to the stretchable pants SP1. Thestretchable pants SP1 is an example that the attachable pocket 100 canbe attached to. The attachable pocket 100 also can be attached tovarious types of pants.

According to FIG. 3, the attachable member 107 comprises a base cloth107A and a hook 107B. The hook 107B can be engaged with loops LP offabric of the stretchable pants SP1 (See FIG. 5); accordingly, theattachable pocket 100 can cling to the stretchable pants SP1. The hook107B may be a plurality of hooks. The hooks 107B are aligned in the samedirection. For example, all of the hooks 107B are aligned in openingdirection DOPN (See FIG. 1D.) In other embodiments, the plurality ofhooks may be aligned at least two direction.

According to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the hook 107B comprises a pillar portion107B1, a curved portion 107B2, and a point 107B3. The pillar portion107B1 is connected to the base cloth 107A, the curved portion 107B2 isconnected to the pillar portion 107B1, and the point 107B3 is located inone end of the curved portion 107B2. In a plane view (XZ-plane) parallelto a surface of the base cloth 107A, a hook direction D107B is definedas a direction of the curved portion 107B2 from the point 107B3 to thepillar portion 107B1.

The hook direction D107B may be the same as the opening direction DOPN.This means that the hook direction 107B is toward the opposite directionof gravity. Referring to FIG. 5 together, the opening direction DOPN issupposed to be toward an opposite direction of gravity, or an oppositedirection of downward force, when a wearer actually attaches theattachable pocket 100 to the stretchable pants SP1. When the hookdirection D107 b is aligned in the opposite direction of gravity, itallows the hook 107B to form a strong fixation strength to loops LP ofthe stretchable pants SP1 against gravity.

In another embodiment, the hook direction D107B forms a smaller anglewith the opening direction DOPN (X-direction) than a direction(Z-direction) perpendicular to the opening direction DOPN.

FIG. 6A shows a back view of a garment 1000 with stretchable pants SP1and an attachable pocket 100 while a first wearer wears the garment1000. FIG. 6B shows a close-up view of a portion M2 of the stretchablepants SP1 of FIG. 6A. FIG. 7A shows a back view of a garment 1000 withstretchable pants SP1 and an attachable pocket 100 while a second wearerwears the garment 1000. FIG. 7B shows a close-up view of a portion M2 ofthe stretchable pants SP1 of FIG. 7A. FIGS. 6B and 7B show a base clothBC and loops LP.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, a vertical width W3 indicates a width of theattachable member 107 in the opening direction DOPN (X-direction.) Ahorizontal width W4 indicates a width of the attachable member 107 in adirection (Z-direction) perpendicular to the opening direction DOPN.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical widthW3 of the attachable member 107 is longer than the horizontal width W4of the attachable member 107. In other words, the number of hooks 107Bin the attachable member 107 in the vertical direction is more than thatin horizontal direction. Providing more hooks 107B in the verticaldirection forms more conjunctions between a hook 107 and a loop LP (SeeFIG. 5) of the stretchable pants SP1 than providing more hooks 107B inthe horizontal direction. Thus, the longer the vertical width W3 of theattachable member 107 is, the stronger the fixation strength of the hook107B to stretchable pants is.

Specifically, according to FIGS. 6A to 7B, the stretchable pants SP1 arestretched to have different shapes depending on bodies of wearers.However, the stretchable pants SP1 are stretched primarily in ahorizontal direction (Z-direction) while there is not a big differencein a vertical direction (X-direction.) Accordingly, a density of loopsLP of the stretchable pants SP1 in the horizontal direction is likely tobe thin while those in the vertical direction is likely to stay dense.

For example, a first case shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B and a second caseshown in FIGS. 7A and 7B respectively indicate that a first and a secondwearer who have different body shapes wear the same stretchable pantsSP1. In the first case, the fabric of the stretchable pants SP1 isstretched depending on the body of the first wearer. The fabric of thestretchable pants SP1 includes a plenty of loops LP on its surface. Thestretchable pants SP1 have a distance D1 between loops LP in thevertical direction and a distance D2 between loops LP in the horizontaldirection. In the second case, the fabric of the stretchable pants SP1is stretched depending on the body of the second wearer. The stretchablepants SP1 have a distance D3 between loops LP in the vertical directionand a distance D4 between loops LP in the horizontal direction.

In the vertical direction, the distance D1 in the first case and thedistance D3 in the second case do not show a big difference; however, inthe horizontal direction, the distance D4 in the second case is muchfarther than the distance D2 in the first case. Therefore, referring toFIG. 5 together, providing more hooks 107B in the vertical directionmakes it possible to form more conjunctions between the hook 107B andthe loop LP; accordingly, the fixation strength of the hook 107B to thestretchable pants SP1 can be stronger.

The present invention provides this garment 1000 comprising thestretchable pants SP1 and the attachable pocket 100. The stretchablepants SP1 may be leggings, sport pants, and the like. The garment 1000may comprise the stretchable pants SP1 and attachable pockets 200, 300,400, 500, 600 shown in FIGS. 8A to 12 instead of the attachable pocket100.
